History

5797980-citadelsupreme00

The Citadel Supreme was first built by Supreme in 1939[1] when he came of age from being Littlehaven's protector to become Omega City' greatest champion. It was secretly constructed in space until it was completed and relocated into Earth's atmosphere[2] in 1940[1] to be his base of operations. The citadel uses anti-gravity to stay afloat and produces artificial clouds to keep its location hidden from the rest of the world. The first design was more spherical in its primitive design.[2]

In 1953, Supreme converted the stadium of the Citadel into a chapel to marry Doc Rocket and the Alleycat.[3]

In July, 1958, Supreme used Suprematon S-1 to bring himself (as Ethan Crane) and his radio station K-Zam workmates, Judy Jordan and Jonas Tate, to the Citadel Supreme to grant them an exclusive broadcast. The Allied Supermen of America heard of this and decided to sneak into the Citadel, pose as wax statues and leave Supreme a clue so that he can flaunt his detective skills to his guests. After being found, everyone took photos together.[1]

The citadel was rebuilt in 1964 after it was attacked by the combined forces of Darius Dax and Optilux. The citadel's second design was more luxurious and majestic. The key to access the citadel required Supreme, or Suprema, to generate a hand-made bolt of lighting into a electro-sensitive "key hole" of sorts onto the front door of the building. The citadel is safely guarded by Suprematons, robot duplicates of Supreme, led by S-1.[2]

When Supreme returned in 1996 from being in space for 25 years, he rediscovered the Citadel. Once he arrived, he discovered that S-1 had created Suprematon versions of his friends and family when his master went missing in 1971. Once the truth was discovered, he re-programmed S-1 back to his original programming and deactivated the impersonating Suprematons.[1]

In 1997, Supreme allowed Billy Friday to visit his secret headquarters for inspiration for his next comic book for Dazzle Comics. Unfortunately, he was exposed to Supremium when he was unsupervised and had to be converted into a fractal pattern to avoid wrecking havoc in the Citadel.[4]

The citadel's stadium room was modified to house Riptide's murder trial.[3] It also hosted the marriage ceremony between S-1 (now called Telos) and Judith Jordan.[5]

While the outside surface appears like a castle, the lower levels are beyond imagination. Aside from private living quarters for Supreme, Suprema, and Radar, the citadel has its own hangar, workshop & storage, a special zoo that houses mythical creatures, an alien botanical garden, a rear observation platform, a souvenir gallery, a science lab, an armory, an art museum, a stadium, a study room, a special room that houses a lost civilization that was victimized by Optilux (The Prism World of Amalynth), and a special prison for Supreme's enemies called the Hell of Mirrors.[7]
